THE CIRCLE OF 100 BENEFACTORS – FELLOWSHIP
OF ST. SEBASTIAN OF JACKSON AND SAN FRANCISCO

 

Beloved member of our Holy Church,

As we rejoice at the great feast of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior celebrated during the twelve days of Christmas, I greet you with love in Christ.

As your Bishop, I am reaching out during a period marked by both opportunity and challenge within our cherished Diocese. I am introducing an endeavor that is pivotal in supporting the spiritual and financial welfare of the Diocese and in bolstering the Orthodox Christian faith.

I invite you to join the noble Circle of 100 Benefactors—Fellowship of St. Sebastian of Jackson and San Francisco, an initiative dedicated to enhancing the vital activities of our Diocese.

We seek the generous support of our esteemed members and friends and humbly request a commitment of $1,000 annually over a period of
three years.

While contributions towards specific items (icons, wall paintings, etc.) have their appeal, your pledge to the Circle of 100 transcends these specific contributions.

Your participation in this circle represents more than a mere donation; it is an investment in the spiritual and communal well-being of our Diocese.

For your generous contribution you will receive an official acknowledgment of your donation. For any inquiries or additional information, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for being a valued member of our Diocesan family.

With love in Christ,
BISHOP MAXIM
